Episode 61: Creative Focus with Jessica Abel

In today's episode, we get some great lessons in creative focus from cartoonist, author and educator Jessica Abel. We have loved all the inspirational but practical work she has done on being a creative when you have a busy life - from her workbook Growing Gills to her practical advice on creative focus. She gave us some great advice on saying goodbye to projects we have finished, how to pick a project when you have a million ideas, and how to manage your energy in your creative and day job lives. You can find her at jessicaabel.com, or on Twitter and Instagram @visiblewoman.   As always, we'd love for you to take a minute to rate and review us in your podcast app, as this helps other listeners find the show.   Find us on Instagram @marginallypodcast or Facebook. Meghan's on Twitter @meghanembee, and Olivia’s @roamingolivia   Theme music is "It's Time" by Scaricá Ricascá.    Have a question you'd like us to try to answer, or a topic you'd love to have us cover?

Om Podcasten

For writers and creatives with day jobs they enjoy. Marginally is about supporting and encouraging people for whom writing – and all forms of creative pursuit – is part of a full life, not the only life. We’re not trying to have it all, but we do have a lot to do. We have day jobs, caring responsibilities, and other life commitments that are important to us. Maybe we don’t aspire to write full time. Maybe we do. Maybe we are on a longer journey to that destination, and we’d like you to join us.
